Clear the blockage. Restore the flow.

A blocked drain can quickly become more than an inconvenience. Slow drainage, standing water, unpleasant smells or wastewater backing up can all indicate that the drainage system is not flowing correctly.

AJS provides drain cleaning and unblocking services for domestic, commercial and industrial drainage systems, including drains, sewers and manholes.

Depending on the blockage and the drainage system, high-pressure water jetting can be used to help remove obstructions and clean the internal pipework.

Signs Of A Drainage Problem

Is your drain telling you something?

Drainage problems do not always begin with a completely blocked pipe. Changes in how the system drains can provide an early indication that something is wrong.

01

Slow Draining

Water taking longer than normal to drain can indicate a developing obstruction or restricted flow.
02

Standing Water

Water remaining around a drain or gully may indicate that the drainage route is restricted.
03

Bad Smells

Persistent unpleasant odours around drainage points can accompany a blockage or build-up.
04

Keeps Blocking

If the same drain repeatedly blocks, there may be an underlying issue that needs further investigation.

Drain Cleaning & Jetting
High-Pressure Water Jetting

More than just opening the drain.

Removing the immediate obstruction is the first priority, but material and deposits can remain within the drainage pipework. High-pressure water jetting uses water delivered through specialist equipment to help clear obstructions and clean the inside of suitable drainage pipework. The method used will depend on the drainage system, accessibility and the nature of the blockage.
What is high-pressure drain jetting? Drain jetting uses high-pressure water to help remove obstructions and deposits from drainage pipework. It can be used as part of professional drain cleaning and unblocking where appropriate for the system.

When Clearing Isn't The Whole Answer

Why does the drain keep blocking?

If a blockage is cleared but the same drainage problem keeps returning, simply clearing it again may not explain the underlying cause. A CCTV drain survey can allow the inside of the drainage system to be inspected for visible defects, damage or other conditions that may be contributing to the problem.

Drain Cleaning Questions

Quick answers.

How do you unblock a drain?

The appropriate method depends on the drainage system, access and the type of obstruction. Professional drain cleaning may involve specialist clearing equipment or high-pressure water jetting where suitable.

What is high-pressure drain jetting?

High-pressure drain jetting uses water delivered through specialist equipment to help remove obstructions and deposits from suitable drainage pipework.

Why does my drain keep blocking?

A recurring blockage can have an underlying cause rather than being an isolated obstruction. Where appropriate, CCTV drain inspection can help investigate what is happening inside the pipework.

Can you inspect the drain after clearing it?

If there is reason to suspect an underlying drainage problem, CCTV investigation can be used to inspect the internal condition of accessible pipework and help identify visible defects.

Do you clear drains for businesses?

AJS provides drainage cleaning and unblocking services for domestic, commercial and industrial clients across its service area.

What happens if the drain is damaged?

If investigation identifies damage within the drainage system, the findings can be used to determine an appropriate repair approach. Depending on the defect, conventional or specialist no-dig repair options may be considered.
